Hi. I have two questions. For what is Torque better and for what iBATIS?
I'm not an iBATIS user, but from a brief glance, Torque needs minimal preparation to get a working database model. The database objects, sql scripts, data accessors are all generated. In contrast to that, iBATIS seems to force you to write your own SQL for everything you do. This is cumbersome for simple statements, but very powerful for complicated sql. So my personal advice would be : If you use simple SQL, use Torque, if you use complicated and involved SQL, use iBATIS.
It is also a matter of personal taste in the end.
Why Apache has two similar projects?
There is no Master Plan of open source software in general or at the ASF. There are even two other ORM projects at the ASF, cayenne (in incubation) and OJB.
And why Torque use this: xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar xml-apis-2.0.2.jar I this need in Java 1.5? A try delete it and all works.
Torque's runtime runs on java 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5, and the generator runs on 1.4 and 1.5. To achieve this downward compatibilty, some libraries are included which may not be needed in java 1.5. I have never tried to find out the minimal set of libraries needed to run torque in 1.5, so no idea whether these special libraries are needed or not in 1.5. As long as you do not get a ClassDefNotFoundError, you're fine.
